Hi, based on your research the average price for a Trane is at max 4500. I have a Quote for 5995 including a Trane digital programmable thermostat and take out and haul away of oil furnace and tank. The new furnace is the S9V with 2-stage 60,000BTU and variable speed. I have a 2900 sqft 3-storey home (incl partial below ground basement.) built in 2003 on Vancouver Island BC.

Does the price seem OK and is the size of furnace adequate for the space?

Hi Chuck, indeed the price estimates we list are just general guidelines and averages, and assuming a basic installation. Add-on products and more complex jobs, like conversions from oil to gas or propane can certainly make things more expensive. This sounds like a reasonable quote, however I’d be reluctant to say with certainty whether the furnace size is adequate. Many factors including your specific home’s layout and insulation, local climate and other things must be considered, so we’ll have to defer to what that company recommended. Hope this helps!
